with respect, your beef is not with same sex marriage, your beef is with the public aaccomodation laws. no one is forcing you to run a catering hall business. but if you do, in this country, you may not discriminate against same sex weddings anymore than you could decline to accommodate bar mitzvahs.

Also, children do not have a right to “innocence.” That’s a lovely thought, but its not a right that can be articulated, let alone protected. Nor do children have a right to a single parent, let alone 2 parents of opposite gender who are married to each other. Again, these are lovely ideals, but they are unreal. The law should and does address the realities of life.

Where does it say that children have a right to a mother and a father? Examples please.
Please explain “a child’s right to innocence.”
